Best RATM quote I heard, "The thing about RATM are their lyrics are always relevant. The SAD thing about RATM is that their lyrics are always relevant." Also, for anyone who doesn't know "Bulls on Parade" is an old school slang term that was used for when police would show up in riot gear or just taking any form of action nearby.

True story back in 1992. I worked at their record company as they brought the entire company to a convention. Unless you were a bigwig at the label office, you had no idea who some of the bands that were going to play were because some of them hadn’t had their first record out. Imagine you’re sitting in a hotel convention center ballroom. I think we were at banquet circle tables at 10 o’clock in the morning. The lights go dark and rage against the machine comes on - not singing this song but singing there belting out the lyrics to “killing in the name of” which you don’t know yet so you think that they’re telling everyone “F you they won’t do what you told me” with the “you” being “us” lol. Of course that’s not what it was it was far deeper but in the moment 50-year-old stodgy sales reps sitting there overturning banquet room tables. I wish there had been social media and cell phones with video back then.😂

Tom Morello does lots of things on guitar no one had ever seen before. He uses every piece of hardware, everything in the signal chain from the strings all the way to the speaker as his instrument and sees all of it as potential for creative expression. If taking the cable out of the jack and touching it to the pickups makes an interesting sound he'll find a way to make music with it. He'll use effects pedal in ways their designers never intended and create whole songs out of the noise. Nothing is off limits. There's no other guitar player like him.

He's got solos that sound like cats screaming, solos that sound like dj's scratching, solos that sound like harmonicas... And its both sad and wonderful how on topic most of RATM's lyric are to both the era they were coming up in as well as today.

While I could go on about all 4 of their collective, creative genius and how far ahead of their time they were, and Tom Morello especially is a wizard on guitar, you could spend a lot of time on just RAtM - but Morello does 60s folk protest songs as a soloist in The Nightwatchman. He blends metal and hip hop with Street Sweeper Social Club, he does angry 80s hip hop with Prophets of Rage, and is part of a grunge supergroup with members of soundgarden with Audioslave. He’s toured as a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band. He’s got his honors undergrad from Harvard! And he makes guitars do things that you didn’t know it could do. Pure genius.

Fantastic reaction. You nailed it with the anthem and/or protest style of the song. I’m 53 and vividly remember all of the tension between police and institutions against minority communities. During my teens I was entrenched in the Republican mindset and grew up in a predominantly white area. I moved to Mexico during the late 80’s and came back to the states right at the height of all of this. This song was like a spotlight for issues that many white kids didn’t even know about, because our parents weren’t talking about it. This was a game changer for me. Love this song! Like has been mentioned already, it’s a sad statement that this song is still so relatable today. Government and law enforcement claims to support the American family while their actions all too often don’t support this (their pockets full of gun shells), especially when talking about minorities.

RATM is a band I started listening to in the 90's when I was a teenager. They are still relevant - now more than ever - sadly. But man, back in the day you had to read the booklet with all the lyrics that came with the record, because Zack is a poet and his words hit home. It's quite telling that they found their success in Europe, because they were virtually banned from the U.S. back in the day. They spoke truth to power. Anyway, you should check out the following songs by RATM: 1. Killing in the name (released after the Rodney King beating and the L.A. Riots.) 2. Know your enemy 3. Down Rodeo EDIT: Man I almost forgot one of my all-time favourites! 4. Bullet in the head

"I've never heard anything like this." Most guitarists try to eliminate string noise. Tom Morello made a guitar solo with it. Morello has always been interested in exploring what sounds can be generated from an electric guitar. He was an early adopter of digital effects pedals, and there are several RATM guitar solos that feature truly innovative techniques that stretch the meaning of "playing a guitar."

Whether you're singing or rapping, you're still using your breath/diaphragm, your vocal cords, your false folds (if you're adding distortion, as Zach does), your tongue, the space (or lack thereof) in your mouth, and all the other usual structures. There are obviously differences in how each style specifically uses those structures and to what end, but singing and rapping are just two ways of playing the same instrument. Your argument would be like saying that the only valid instruments are melodic ones and that all rhythm instruments are garbage. Because, let's be real, that's the difference here: Traditional singing is a melody instrument, rapping is a rhythm instrument. The main difference between the two is cadence and length of held notes. Otherwise, they're not that different. Do you also think drums are not worthy of being analyzed because they're not guitars? Just because a vocal coach doesn't have a legato line to latch onto or vibrato to analyze doesn't mean good rapping can't be (or isn't worth being) analyzed any more than drums aren't worth analyzing because you can't play a tritone on them. Tbh, if a vocal coach can't figure out how to analyze these vocals, that's really more about the narrowness of the coach's experience, not the validity of the vocal style. And, to her credit, she did analyze bits of what he was doing so, y'know, your point kind of falls apart there and really just belies your own personal bias more than the objective truth about rap vs. singing.

he song is a metaphor for the arms dealers and war being a profitable business in our current society(bulls on parade= war pigs, as in they are both violent and blatantly destructive and unconcerned with the damage they cause) and war being viewed as a necessary aspect of our lives. How murder and destruction of other countries can be taken advantage of from a business and political view point. How the government almost needs an enemy to unite the public and keep them fired up and distracted. Also how the government continues to focus time and resources on war as apposed to domestic issues. Then they also reference propaganda being taught in our schools and media. Excellent review as always

Their advancement of technique was both bold and subtle -- simple repetition hid serious chops -- but the 1000% ENERGY was mind-blowing. I've got an indelible memory of my band pulling into a college campus for a show and being directed around the back for load-in. As we pulled into the little service alley RATM was pounding at high volume and there were kids hanging out of the windows screaming the lyrics to each other. It was a vibe and the show that night was amazing.

You can NEVER go wrong with reacting to any RATM song. My favorite lyric is from the song Down Rodeo(as in Rodeo drive) "Can't waste the day when the night brings a hearse, make a move and plead the 5th because you can't plead the 1st." P.s. I think of RATM as a 90's version of the social movement songwriting and instrumentals(more hardcore for sure) like that of the 60's. Raw,cutting edge music that delivered messages we All needed to see,feel and hear even for a 62 year old head banger like me. That,to me is who Rage is. Great reaction. Hopefully more RATM reactions to come.

Tom Morello - The master of guitar sounds. A Harvard Grad and a brilliant guitar player. Uses a custom installed toggle switch to "cut" sound completely out running various pedals in conjunction with a harmonizer with a screamer pedal to get his amazing sounds. It's very prevalent in the intro of "Know Your Enemy" as well as the solo toward the end of that song. First time i heard that intro I thought it was a Synthesizer of some sort. Was fortunate enough to see one of their final original era concerts in 2000 at the Forum in LA.

It's bound to be suggested because it was their breakout song, but it is such a simplistic and repetitive song that I just don't think it merits an in depth look. Absolutely EVERYTHING else by them is amazing. Also, always have those lyrics handy with RATM. Their music is all about the messages.

Once you get the head movement right, back and forth rather than side to side, you'll be one of us.

Love your reactions and analysis and I love the fact that you let the song play through so you could get a feel for the whole thing and pick out things to go back to. I know you have to comment and analyze (that's what the channel is about) but it seems like a lot of reactors are so concerned about copyright that they stop so often and it takes them out of the song. I get it. But sometimes you have to see the bigger picture before you can see the smaller pieces.

10:40 Yes! All of the musicians are playing loose with time at different points in the song and it adds a lot of groove and funk to the track. My favorite is those moments where the drummer Brad has those seven successive snare hits that are all behind the beat.

Know Your Enemy song by them has a collab with Maynard from Tool, maybe the next one to check out. All RATM songs are good.

Tom Morello's guitar playing is so unique that they even put disclaimers such as "No samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this record" and "All sounds made by guitar, bass, drums and vocals" on their albums. Check out any early performance of "Bullet in the Head" to really see what Tom does with his instrument!

I would love to watch a video on your first reaction to Gavin Rossdale (BUSH) singing Glycerine live.

Best part of this video is watching her honest, subtle reactions while digesting the lyrics. Same happened to me years ago. First it’s ‘hey that was a clever way to word that, cool’. Then ‘oh hold on this is kinda deep actually’. Then the truth of it sinks in and you get mad, a little sad, and then Rage.

Same as it ever was, more relevant today than the day it was written. They don't gotta ban the books they just remove em. Zach was angry and that comes through in his delivery, and if you've seen them lately you know hes still angry, that never went away. I saw them at MSG in august of 22 and he was fired up even though he had to sit through the set due to his injured ankle. Some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office. Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires.
Well,,,i sure was interested in how you'd start with this baby,,hardcore shizzel,,nice to see you smile as the lead guitar kicks off☺️✌️🔥🤘👌

That second verse might be one of the, if the most, poignant and important verses in the history of protest music. My thoughts on the evolution of protest music of the 60s and 70s... The world listened to those peaceful and soulful melodies and folk tunes for decades, but change never came. RATM is singing about a lot the same themes and issues. By the mid-late 90s, it had come to a boiling point and we were all outraged with the lack of progress, and that rage helped form RATM.

Not much 'vocal analysis' to Zack; he just spits rhyme basically. Its all about the song's groove.

An other song that you covered already that reminds me of RATM topics is Zombie from The Cranberries which an other protest song, although Zombie is quite different from the rest of their songs… I love both bands!

My favourite band of all time.. so glad you enjoyed them. Being of someone who also has a wide diversity in music styles/preferences.. I highly recommend you check out Greta Van Fleet - "Age of Man" (Live Version).. and Straight Line Stitch - "Black Veil". I think you may get a kick out of both bands. Love your channel.. by the way..

Check out Danny Worsnop from Asking Alexandria. It worth it I assure you. He had done incredible performances in the past. Between 2009 and 2015.
